A HUGE thanks to everyone who is helping with the special ministry.  For years our church family has supported the King Harvest ministry by providing sandwiches and dessert each Tuesday evening during the winter months to the folks who spend the night in the shelter. Due to COVID-19, the shelter is not opening. The great news is that the ministry remains active by utilizing a hotel in northwest Davenport.

Bethel Wesley’s Mission and Outreach Ministry has pledged to cover the 1^st and 3^rd Tuesday from December through March, with about 83 people being served nightly. We will provide dinners that include at least a sandwich, a piece of fruit, a dessert, and a bottle of water. <!–split–>

If you are ready and willing to make a donation to this project, we are asking for volunteers to contribute 83 sandwiches, 83 desserts (homemade or purchased), bottles of water, or cash to purchase the items needed to complete the meal like fruit or chips.

Most of our opportunities to serve the community have been cancelled due to COVID. Please prayerfully consider getting involved in this rewarding ministry.

Bishop Frank J. Beard has extended hid instructions churches in the Illinois Great Rivers Conference not to meet indoors rest of December. Our church building will be closed during this time except for Secretary and Custodian. Sunday worship will continue to be broadcast at 10:00 AM in the parking lot at FM 98.3 and live streamed on YouTube.

Please keep our country in your prayers as we struggle through this challenging holiday season. A lot of traditions cannot be followed. Maybe we can find some new traditions. Call somebody you haven’t seen recently or who might be alone this holiday. Share God’s love.

Be safe and wear mask when you must go out.

Grace and Peace.
